Pence acknowledged that he doesn’t “see eye-to-eye” with Trump about the throng of rioters that called for the former VP’s execution, but he isn’t going to let that get in the way of their relationship
The former vice president made his enduring fidelity to Trump clear Thursday night during a speech in New Hampshire. Yes, he and his former boss have had their differences — like when Trump bashed Pence on Twitter as a violent mob of his supporters laid siege to the U.S. Capitol — but that doesn’t mean Pence doesn’t still think Trump is a swell guy.,” Pence said.
As for that time Trump inspired his supporters to chant about stringing Pence up on a gallows they built outside the Capitol while the vice president hid inside, Pence conceded that despite speaking “many times” since the, he and the president might never “see eye-to-eye” about the event in which a throng of the president’s supporters lustily called for Pence to be executed.
Pence’s unflappable obsequiousness to the man who clearly couldn’t care less about him is likely born of the same perversion that has led people like Ted Cruz, Lindsey Graham, Mitch McConnell, and the countless other Republican lawmakers Trump has trashed to stick by the party’s spiritual leader. They’re too far down the road to turn back now, and they feel his support is crucial to their own political success.
But as was the case with former Attorney General Jeff Sessions, who tried to win back his Senate seat by appealing to Trump voters after he’d already been excommunicated from the MAGA brotherhood, Pence’s goose might be cooked. As Trumptold his vice president on the morning of the insurrection, “You can either go down in history as a patriot, or go down in history as a pussy.”
Despite all of his years of service to Trump, it’s going to take more than a few lines at a GOP event in New Hampshire to convince the MAGA faithful he isn’t the latter
